So we rarely have grains with meals but potatoes, sweet potatoes, kohlrabi, carrots, rutabagas, turnips, and winter squashes of all types show up regularly on our plates. I also use spaghetti squash as a substitute for pasta. Would any of these work for you? I also frequently mix whatever starchy vegetable I&#39;m using with eggplant, zucchini, and summer squash.Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807524989409442516.post-68499760637258692382011-10-05T13:41:40.234-04:002011-10-05T13:41:40.234-04:00I like to make &quot;spaghetti&quot; with thinly s...I like to make &quot;spaghetti&quot; with thinly sliced zucchini for spaghetti noodles for a quick dinner. It&#39;s really quick. You could make some meatballs and keep them in the freezer to go with it for dinner emergencies. <br /><br />I also just made lasagna with zucchini &quot;noodles.&quot;Ellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02460275567229778503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807524989409442516.post-33233167446933986722011-10-04T22:46:53.908-04:002011-10-04T22:46:53.908-04:00The baked egg cups are pretty intriguing.

When I get in a rut I go there. :) A lot of Thai food (curries, soups) can be made paleo. Make cauliflower &quot;rice&quot; and do that with Thai, Indian, and Chinese cuisine too. Or Mexican. If I vary the flavors of my cooking I have less of a chance of getting bored!<br /><br />This week I&#39;m making tom kha soup (coconut based) with chicken, making meatballs, and, umm... trying to eat my way through our CSA box before the next pick-up. Breakfasts are going to be poached or fried eggs on sauteed greens, since we probably have 5 lbs to go through before the weekend.Celiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18232302529800718534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807524989409442516.post-71369377236360891542011-10-03T12:51:05.928-04:002011-10-03T12:51:05.928-04:00We&#39;ve been transitioning to a paleo diet for t...We&#39;ve been transitioning to a paleo diet for the past few weeks - www.chowstalker.com and www.fastpaleo.com have been huge helps for more recipe ideas! I&#39;m also following every paleo blog I can find. Almost all of them seem to post recipes at least once in a while.Samanthahttp://www.sosimplygood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807524989409442516.post-24800807460170991472011-10-03T10:40:06.993-04:002011-10-03T10:40:06.993-04:00oh wow! that sounds delicious pamela!!

I haven&#39;t really developed a taste for lamb (other than the roast leg of lamb my dad always prepared at christmas) but yours sounds so good and you are right! simply by cooking down the liquids creates a delicious heavily flavored gravy!!Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15227674056211650898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807524989409442516.post-61872962399419835762011-10-03T09:53:40.423-04:002011-10-03T09:53:40.423-04:00Today, I&#39;m simmering lamb shanks in the crock ...Today, I&#39;m simmering lamb shanks in the crock pot with vegetables, can&#39;t wait for dinner. I&#39;m a gravy fan, so I&#39;ve started deducing the juices in the pan, or in this case pot, instead of adding thickeners. Almond flour and coconut flour also work to thicken a sauce or gravy, of course, and sometimes I use those.aseafishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07053629540565593001noreply@blogger.com
